Nissan Thailand begins sales of new natural gas version of the NV350 Urvan

Nissan launched its first natural gas model, the Navara CNG, in July 2013, followed by the Sylphy CNG. “The increased demand for NGVs in Thailand has generated new opportunities for Nissan,” said Hiroyuki Yoshimoto, president of Nissan Motor (Thailand) Co., Ltd. “With outstanding performance, more space and great fuel efficiency, we are confident the CNG version of the NV350 Urvan will provide excellent value in this segment.”

The new NV350 Urvan CNG is powered by a QR25DE engine, which generates 147 hp at 5,600 rpm with a maximum torque of 213 Nm at 4,400 rpm. It also features new technologies such as an advanced floating gas injection system to maximize the efficiency of gas consumption and an advanced electronic system to effectively control the injection of gas, minimizing noise generated through gas injection. It is expected to reduce operational costs by two thirds compared to a conventional petrol engine.

Moreover, it has two 100-liter CNG fuel tanks with protective coverings installed in the bed of the last row seats. Its special receptacle valve is located at the fuel filler area, allowing customers to replenish natural gas at their convenience.
